50 Musicians And Their Childhood Dream Jobs

Why that job? Before I fell in love with music, I wanted to be Bob Costas or someone of the like. I loved the intricacies and nerdiness with regard to facts and stats. I also was fascinated by interviewers. I knew that I couldn’t play sports because I was a tiny kid. Eventually, my obsession with sports morphed into an obsession with music and records. Baseball card collecting became record collecting pretty quickly.

Age when he wanted to be that profession: From a very young age. When I was three, I remember knowing starting lineups for nearly every team in every sport. I remember writing out interviews for my favorite players. I took it way too far.

Why that job? When I was in kindergarten I remember we had a drawing project in class where we were required to illustrate our dream profession.

Why that job? My first dream job that I started to pursue was being an Architect so
that I could design buildings that had great secretive places that were great for skateboarding. I owned this dream all throughout middle school and high school and it lasted all the way until i found out that Old Dominion University didn’t have an Architecture program.
